ABC Family premieres a new sitcom, "Roommates"

"Roommates"

Pssst! Want to try something new? (No? There are other options below). Although it looks like Z-grade "Friends," this new sitcom (about post-college roomies in New York City) could be a pleasant diversion. 9 tonight, ABC Family (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
